I am in LOVE with these guys. They're not American, but their approach to food is...Epic. (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/EpicMealTime)

Lots of bad language... but... nearly 130K calories and you get... The Sloppy Roethlisberger. Supposedly they're going to be making a show of this stuff. (http://life.nationalpost.com/2011/02/03/canadian-youtube-hit-epic-meal-time-headed-to-tv/)

I have all of their recipes. Unfortunatelly, meal like that would cost here like..... Half a paycheck.

Slaughterhouse is the best!

Check these guys, they're like Viking spinoff of Epic Meal Time.

Have you heard of poutine?

Poutine (play /puːˈtiːn/; Quebec French pronunciation [putsɪn] ( listen)) is a dish consisting of French fries topped with fresh cheese curds, covered with brown gravy or sauce and sometimes additional ingredients.

Poutine is Acadian slang for mushy mess and is best described as a heart attack in a bowl.

By the way, there is a proper way to pronounce poutine, and it's not 'poo-teen'. The phonetic pronunciation is 'peu-tin', which always elicits a vacant stare when one orders it using that word.

The French Fries - The potatos must be hand-cut and very fresh. Fast-food-type fries will not taste quite as good. Also, you must fry the potatoes in pure lard. Vegetable oil and other politically-correct oils spoil the unique taste.

The Gravy - French-Canadian gravy (also known as BBQ Chicken Gravy) is very different than American gravy. First of all, it is very dark and thick, like molasses. Secondly, it has a very flavourful taste which cannot be described...very much like pepper and vinegar and other 'magical' ingredients. If you can stand a spoon straight up in it, it's good! Make sure it's very, very hot!

The Cheese - The cheese is the most important part of good poutine. You must use FRESH white, cheddar cheese CURDS. These curds have a taste and texture very different than actual cheddar cheese. The cheese curds will actually squeak in your teeth as you bite them. While curds are available in most Canadian supermarkets, they are not found in many American markets (the closest thing in taste is Mozzarella String Cheese - but don't use this stuff!).

When the curds are placed on the fries and the hot gravy is poured on top, the three flavors combine to produce what can only be described as the BEST junk food taste sensation on earth.

The Bowl - While different types of bowls are used, no one knows why, but poutine seems to taste better when served in a Styrofoam bowl. Perhaps the bowl keeps the heat inside to melt the cheese. Who knows? It tastes good no matter what bowl is used.
